Mahal Kita Pero (BoyxBoy)

Chapter 45

"Good morning, Yuji." I greeted him as I opened my eyes. Ang sarap pala sa pakiramdam na umaga pa lang, bumungad na siya sa 'yo. Ang sarap pala sa pakiramdam na simula pa lang, buo na ang araw mo.

"You woke up too early. Hindi pa ako nakakapaghanda ng breakfast." Halatang natatarantang sagot niya kaya napatawa ako.

"What's the matter? I will help you cook na lang." I suggested.

"Nope. I told myself that I will serve you kahit ngayon na lang. Allow me to do that." He looked at me as if he's really convincing me to agree on what he said.

"So, anong gagawin ko?" I asked. Alangan namang matulog ulit ako. That'll surely give me a headache.

"You can walk by the beach. Take a dip if you want to. Besides, healthy naman daw sa skin ang dagat kapag umaga." He suggested.

"Then let's dip together para healthy rin sa skin mo." I returned his suggestion.

"Love, I'll follow. Swear. But for now, I really need to do something." I sighed in defeat. Kahit ano yatang sabihin ko, hindi ako mananalo sa kanya.

"Fine. But you'll follow, okay?" I made sure that he will.

"Yes, love." Doon ko pa lang napansin na suot niya na ulit ang black shirt na pinabili ni Justine. Without hesitation, I grabbed mine and went straight to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face before changing my outfit.

After doing what I need to do, I went out of the restroom and saw that Yuji already left.

I went directly to the beach. Umaga pa lang kaya maingay pa ang mga alon. Seriously, I could live here and listen to the sound of these waves every morning of my life. Sadly, hindi naman posible.

I also saw that only a few people are here that's why I immediately noticed a guy holding a jar. I don't know what came up to my mind but I really had the guts to approach him.

Hindi pa man ako nakakalapit ay narinig ko na siyang nagsasalita.

"You wanted me to let you go but I just can't. Abo mo na nga lang ang meron ako, mawawala pa. God, how I miss your presence! I miss every inch of you." I was saddened after hearing that. Obviously, another tragic love story.

I felt the urge to sit beside him.

"Sorry for your loss." I said softly.

"Hi." He greeted me. "Kanina ka pa nandyan?"

"Nope. Kararating ko lang." I answered. Hindi ko na alam ang sasabihin ko dahil baka magmukhang tsismosa ako kapag nagtanong ako.

"Siguro nababother ka bakit ako umiiyak. Boyfriend ko kasi 'to. He died last month because of heart failure. He wished for me to throw his ashes on the sea kasi dito kami unang nagkakilala." Kwento niya. Lalo lang akong naging malungkot dahil sa sinabi niyang iyon. "Pero ayaw ko. Dito ko na lang siya makakasama kaya ayaw ko siyang pakawalan."

"Gaano kahirap bang mawalan ng mahal sa buhay?" I asked all of a sudden and remembered Yuji. Ganito rin kaya ako? I want to erase that thought pero hindi ko maiwasang isipin na malaki ang posibilidad na mangyari nga iyon.

"Sobra." He answered. "Ang hirap kumilos kasi sa lahat ng bagay, maaalala mo siya. Ang hirap kumain kasi maaalala mo siya. Ang hirap gumalaw kasi hindi mo na alam kung paanong gagalaw mag-isa kasi nasanay kang kasama siya. Isang tao lang pero buong mundo mo, magbabago."
